How America's Wars Started The Border Crisis

How America's Wars Started The Border Crisis

The U.S. funded many civil wars, insurgencies, coups, and death squads, which transformed several of the largest contributors to our immigration problem. The violence and upheaval eventually led to the circumstances that these children are so desperately trying to get away from, and therefore finding their way to our border.

Columnist at The Daily Beast Michael Tamasky believes that today's current immigration crisis is deeply rooted in decisions that the United States made thirty years ago.

To fix this, Tamasky believes more of our budget be directed to foreign aid. While this view certainly isn't popular, as many Americans will say "that's not our problem", he stresses that it eventually could become one we must deal with.

In prophetic foreshadowing, Tamasky looks to the Middle East and the current situation in Gaza.
